You can complete the course unit by demonstrating or by Work&Study even if the course unit doesn't have DEMO or WORKSTUDY implementations. More information about recognition of learning at Haaga-Helia's website: https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/career-planning/recognition-learning

If you possess skills equivalent to the course content, you have the opportunity to demonstrate your competence. In the Professional Swedish demonstration, you will start by taking a written exam in the Exam system. During this exam, you will showcase your written communication skills in Swedish, using essential phrases and concepts relevant to your own field of study. Once you pass the written exam, you can proceed to the oral part, which involves a discussion on Zoom.

To participate in the DEMO implementation, enroll and gain access to Moodle, where you will find additional information about the demonstration process.
